We have already mentioned that one of the most powerful aspects of using your imagination to receive inner guidance is to pretend that you know the answer. “If I knew the answer, what would it be?”  In this exercise, we are going to imagine the future based on a choice we might make. For example, suppose you need to choose between two job offers, but you are not sure which one to accept. In this process, you would image the future that would be created if you chose one of the positions. 

Exercise: Using Imagination For Guidance

Follow the directions listed below to use your imagination as a tool for connecting to your inner guidance.
